Little Psy sets his sights high

  • 12 years ago
He might be small, but his cameo in Psy's "Gangnam Style" music video was big enough to make him a star.

Seven-year-old dance prodigy Hwang Min-woo is now known as "Little Psy" and has been tapped by South Korea's second biggest electronics company LG to be a brand ambassador.

Despite all the attention, the pint-sized star says he is enjoying the limelight.

"People ask me if I'm tired of being on television too frequently, but I never get tired. I will just dance with joy and just go crazy with it."

Recently, Hwang started taking professional lessons at a vocal and dance academy south of Seoul.

"Little Psy" says he thinks he will become a bigger star than his namesake -- who just won Best Video at the recent MTV Europe awards.

Hwang is set to fly to Hong Kong, Taiwan and Thailand at the end of this month to perform for his fans abroad.
